Chapter 8 The Corpse in the Tree Hole

At noon, the sun is like fire.

There were slapping sounds from the lake in the forest, carrying an inexplicable smell. For a while, the soul beast forest, which was dead and no one was there, became alive.

A silver-haired boy took off his shirt and was handling the body of a soul beast by the lake downstream. He did not know where he moved a flat stone about fifty centimeters in length and placed it on the shore. He peeled off the top and washed it. deerskin.

On the other side is a piece of driftwood two people long and one person wide. It was cut in half, and a few tree vines passed through one of the holes to fix the driftwood to the shore. There were a lot of stones underneath to ensure that it would not float around with the current, and many cut pieces of meat were placed on top. .

One morning passed, but he simply separated the skin and flesh, and did not even carefully pick out the tendons and bones. It can only be said that he has never done such a thing before, he is very novice, and he is also very clumsy.

Meat in this weather cannot be kept for a long time, at least one day. If these fresh pieces of meat are not marinated, they will start to smell and rot. This is intolerable for Uchiha who is short of food. God knows the next time. Wherever you encounter new living creatures, you may never encounter them again.

After all, the radiation he carries will drive away all living things, unless he crashes into it by himself like yesterday. This is destined to make it impossible for him to capture prey through normal means.

"Oh, this thing makes my waist so sore!"

Straightening up, Uchiha moved his waist and shoulder blades. The bursts of sourness made him roll his eyes. He bent over and squatted for more than an hour. When he stood up in an instant, he almost made his arrangements clear.

After washing the pieces of meat, he started to do the next step, which was to apply salt, start a fire, smoke, and then hang it to dry, so that it can be considered completely done. Salt was easy to deal with. He brought a lot with him when he came out. The only issue was whether the fire would cause an attack by some spirit beast or the like. Although his camp already felt like a heavy radiation zone, and ordinary soul beasts would not venture in, it was better to be safe and not light a fire, but bacon could not be smoked without a fire, which made him very embarrassed.

"Forget it, just start a fire. The longer you hesitate, the faster the meat will stink. Regardless of whether he has a soul beast or not, I don't believe he dares to get close."

He thought about this issue for a while and then decided. He looked at the hot sky and felt that he should be able to go to the forest again in the afternoon. Although there are no treasures or trophies in the forest, it is not a problem to stay in the camp and sit there. There is no hammer or ax at hand. The dry wood prepared before has been peeled off the bark, but There is no way to knock on the foundation, so we can only leave it there.

Soon, Uchiha brought out several vines as thick as a little finger from the rainforest. After peeling and washing them, he threaded them on the flesh. Then he used a machete to cut some branches as thick as an arm and set them up in the middle of the camp. Something similar to a barbecue pole, and finally a fire was started underneath, and tree vines with meat skewered were tied to it.

He put a lot of firewood to ensure that the fire would not go out when he went to the forest. However, because there was a lot of meat, he quickly set up three barbecue poles for smoking meat. After temporarily setting up two soul skill traps, He took the package and headed east.

There are actually many roads to walk in the forest, and today we are going to take another one.

The sky is blue and the branches overhead are criss-crossed.

As he continued to move forward, Uchiha Uchiha felt that the temperature in the forest had dropped a bit. He looked up and saw that at some point, the sunlight had been blocked by the dense leaves, and it was no longer as hot as before.

got windy.

The trees made a rustling sound, and he felt like he smelled something strange, a sour and fishy smell, just like two pounds of pork left to dry in the sun in the summer, emitting waves of stench.

It's just that the source of the smell is a bit far away. When it drifted to Uchiha Uranium with the wind, it was no longer so strong, but it also attracted his attention.

If he guessed correctly, it should be the smell of rotting meat.

If it is meat, then he is interested. Regardless of whether it is rotten or not, at least the fur, bones, teeth and the like are all good things. It just so happens that he still lacks a lot of materials. If he has sharp teeth, he will use them later. Making a dagger is also a good choice.

When he became interested, he quickly started to follow the smell. Because he was not walking normally but following the smell, it was inevitable that he would continue to take detours and bump into things. However, he was also prepared and he was intentional along the way. I accidentally left a mark on my surroundings, sometimes by cutting a knife on a tree, or by arranging stones to create a pattern.

He doesn't have a dog's nose, so he can't smell directly where he is, so to find a location, he just relies on smelling from left to right. If the smell is stronger, lean towards that side. Although this method is extremely unreliable, it is still a method. , he has nothing to do, so just waste a little time.

On the way, he also conveniently set up a ground thorn trap. The soul power recovered quickly. Although it was not at full state, it was still possible to place two traps, but he only placed one. After all, he had to leave some soul power. As a backup, the feeling of draining the soul power is not that pleasant.

Soul power can be restored naturally, which is equivalent to a CD-like skill. Uchiha understands it this way. When the CD is full, just put one in, just like Teemo growing mushrooms.

About an hour later.

The breeze blew, bringing the fresh smell of vegetation, along with the strong smell of corpses.

This hot weather is not the right time to store fresh meat and blood. Once the shelf life has expired, the smell of fresh meat and blood will be quickly transformed by microorganisms into a pungent stench. If not stopped, scavengers will soon develop. The spirit beast came and had a feast.

It's strange that this smell lingers for a long time, as if the soulless beast doesn't care, and in Uchiha's feeling, he may be close, so out of caution, he quickly arranged a place around it. Even though he was a little timid about stabbing the trap, he still wanted to ensure safety first.

What if he met someone and someone saw him, a six-year-old child, and had murderous intentions? Wouldn't he die tragically here on the spot? After all, humans are not soul beasts and will be directly scared away by his heavy nuclear radiation.

Soon, he found it. He saw the place where the smell was strongest, surrounded by open trees. In front of him was the remains of an old tree. There was a big hole in the middle. It didn't look deep, but there was a strong stench inside. It was fermenting and dissipating continuously, and the smell he smelled came from it.

"Is this right here?"

Uchiha Uchiha did not approach rashly. He first lit a fire, wrapped it in leaves, and threw it into the tree hole from a distance. From the firelight, he saw that there was a human corpse in the tree hole with a tragic death.

"Hey, it turns out to be a human being. It seems that he hasn't been dead for a long time, and the flesh is not rotten." Before he could take action, Uchiha Uchiha felt that the sky was getting a little darker.

A huge shadow blocked the sunlight, and the huge shadow was cast at his feet, completely covering the shadow of Uchiha Uranium.

A giant creature stood behind him.

"Oh shit!"
